Great Spirit of Creation, you renew the face of the ground.
Renew us, that we may
resume our journey,
climbing up into the
hill country.
Make us good, rich in
good works,
generous--ready to
share with those who cannot
repay us, that we may
take hold of the life that really is life.

Deut. 1:6-7a
The
LORD our God spoke to us at Horeb, saying, "You have stayed long enough at
this mountain. Resume your journey, and

regions…"
1 Tim. 6:18
[Those
who in the present age are rich] are to do good, to be rich in good works,
generous, and ready to share, thus storing up for themselves the treasure of a
good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of the life that
really is life.
Luke 14:13-14
"…But
when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, and the
blind. And you will be blessed, because
they cannot repay you, for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the
righteous." [Jesus to the one who
invited him for dinner]
